Circoscrizione
Triennale Milano
Triennale Milano has invited the artist Marcello Maloberti to create three new permanent site-specific light installations, designed for the institution’s outdoor spaces and visible starting from 13 May 2025.

TRIENNALE VOCE, 2025
Site-specific neon installation
The light work bearing the words TRIENNALE VOCE, made in white neon following the artist’s own handwriting, has been placed on the exterior wall of Voce (the space dedicated to music and sound), overlooking the Triennale garden. The word becomes light, highlighting the importance of orality and sound as an experimental artistic practice.

LUNA, 2025
Site-specific neon installation
The second intervention, also located in the Triennale Milano garden, depicts a neon LUNA rising into the Milanese sky. The luminous installation, anchored to the garden pole at a height of about 30 meters, becomes a sort of anti-monument monument—an infinite column, a poetic act. The moon lights up every night above Triennale, and during the day it relates to the sun, creating a direct connection with the celebrated reference work Il sole sul cavalletto (The Sun on the Easel) (1973) by Giorgio de Chirico. The luminous work transports the viewer into a mystical, dreamlike dimension.

MILANO PORTAMI DOVE SONO, 2025
Site-specific neon installation
Finally, installed on one side of the facade of the Palazzo dell’Arte, a new large-scale light inscription reproduces the phrase MILANO PORTAMI DOVE SONO. It is a declaration of love to the city of Milan and to the hosting institution, bringing attention to the importance of the here and now. The work creates a direct relationship between exterior and interior space, acting as a kind of threshold, a passage. Reading the neon creates an instant—an encounter in which time and space are grasped. The installation becomes a poetic act that takes shape on the visual plane of the word.
